Mr Smith’s Story

Mr Smith goes to see a broker to take out a new mortgage. His broker presents him with several deals and advises him that these are his best options. Despite the fees being quite high, Mr Smith accepts a deal and goes on his way.

The broker did not tell Mr Smith that he only offered him deals that he could make commission on. Mr Smith probably would have found a better deal elsewhere because he has good credit history.

Miss Jones’ Story

Miss Jones wants to own her own house and goes to meet with a broker to discuss taking out a mortgage. She is a mobile hair-dresser and is effectively self-employed. She self-certifies her own situation and hands the papers over to the broker.

The broker then recommends a deal that Miss Jones agrees to. The broker does not investigate Miss Jones’ self-certification and has no real proof that Miss Jones can meet the payments of her mortgage.
